Ouch,... If there's any cars you don't want a luxury sedan to resemble, its those three.

If there's one vehicle in this class that I'd have to get, it'd be an Audi A/S3.
I'd pass on the A3/S3 and just get any of the Golf's variants.

Nothing in this class really interest me but I get the case for Mercedes and BMW. Mercedes doesn't have anything below the CLA so if you're looking to enter Mercedes ownership, the CLA is the cheapest way.

With BMW, like the Mercedes, it's the lowest entry point but it also extends to current MINI owners who are looking to "upgrade" into something a bit more refined and less funky and playful. At least in design.

For the A3, you can't convince anyone that it is a significant upgrade over the Golf outside of the obvious design and badge. You sit in it and you know it's a VW product and I don't mean that in a negative way.
I once owned a Jetta, to this day I have buyers remorse.
